Proxy War: The Lectroid factions are more than happy to start one on Earth to resolve their own conflict, which is where Team Banzai comes in to put a stop to it. Aliens Are Bastards: While Whorfin is a genocidal maniac, even the aliens who are ostensibly the good guys are willing to goad Earth's two main political powers into nuking each other and everyone else to smithereens if it means getting rid of Whorfin. Thankfully, John Parker is an exception and gives a rundown on the situation to Banzai before it's too late. Lisa's Mom: You have to be more careful. [seriously; about the floor that is wet and slippery] A wet floor is a slippery floor. Lisa: Don't worry, we're okay. Right, Cordy? Corduroy: [thinking] Right! Lisa's Mom: I'm glad you're okay, Lisa. [points to that old lady who is not being careful] But what if you caused that lady to slip and fall? Remember, better safe and sorry. Lisa loses a race to Moppy and wonders if his smart-looking sneakers are the reason why. After all, her sneakers are so plain and boring. Corduroy, meanwhile, has lost a button, and worries that Lisa won't love him as much if he doesn't look his best. Both Lisa and Corduroy discover that appearance isn't everything. What's inside counts. Penny Priddy is.... less than emotionally stable... but still manages to pull off a few moves that save the team, including hiding the overthruster in plain sight and not giving up its location even when literally tortured to death. She gets better.Corduroy (who is left out at home because Lisa is at school) ventures downstairs on his own to put a card to Lisa in the lobby mailbox after she surprises him with a "thinking of you" card. Lisa doesn't tell Mom about her toothache, for fear a visit to the dentist's office will mean a big needle. But when Corduroy comes to Lisa about his hurt elbow, Lisa realizes the importance of asking for help when help is needed. World of Ham: Surprisingly defied. Other than John Lithgow as Lord John Whorfin, everyone gives rather understated performances. . . which actually adds to the film's charm and hilarity. It's a completely silly film that takes its silliness completely seriously. The Ageless: It doesn't get brought up but Dr. Emelio Lizardo doesn't age a bit after he's possessed by Whorfin, even though fifty years pass. Insistent Terminology: On multiple occasions the Red Lectroid John Bigbooté has his name mispronounced. Lord Whorfin calls him "Bigbooty" and the U.S. Secretary of Defense calls him "Big Boot". Near the end of the movie he actually gets shot by Lord Whorfin because of his angry insistence that his surname be pronounced "big-boo-TAY".

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension

Lisa has spent her day at school learning about dinosaurs, and now she's going to build her own dinosaur out of pipe cleaners. Corduroy decides he's going to make a dinosaur too, out of felt. When Lisa meets her pipe cleaner dinosaur in her imagination, the dinosaur is terribly cold. When Corduroy meets his felt dinosaur in his imagination, the dinosaur is terribly wobbly. But by working together, and making one dinosaur out of both pipe cleaners and felt, they construct the perfect Stegosaurus. Sometimes we're ready to try something new, but it's okay if we're not, as Moppy discovers when he visits Lisa for his first-over sleepover. In the novelization, Lizardo's original consciousness is still present, but can only assert itself when Whorfin is starved of electricity. He wants to use this moment of control to commit suicide and stop Whorfin, but isn't able to.Atom Punk: Unabashedly blends a 1980s Cold War setting with aliens and ray guns. In the silliest deadpan manner possible. A picnic in the park ends up becomes something else entirely when Corduroy ends up sailing solo on Moppy's toy boat. Moppy had promised Lisa he'd take care of Corduroy and now Corduroy's missing! Organic Technology: Most Lectroid technology seems to be organic in nature, at least partially. The Reds on Earth have had to make do with whatever they can scrounge up so their stuff has a lot more Earth implements in it. A visit to Lisa's Mom's art gallery has Lisa, Corduroy, and Rosetta each making art. But Rosetta becomes jealous when she hears Lisa tell Corduroy she loves his sculpture. The consequences of jealousy become apparent when Rosetta accidentally damages Corduroy's sculpture, and ends up destroying her very own painting as well.

One-Steve Limit: Hilariously averted. ALL the Lectroids are named John. Including the women.

Corduroy's first ride on the city subway is full of exciting sights and sounds. But when Lisa becomes distracted, and doesn't keep an eye out for Corduroy as she should, she and her toy bear get separated. Now it's up to both Lisa and Corduroy to come up with a solution for finding each other. Despite this rather auspicious listing of A and high B list actors, the movie was not well received in theaters. Once it was released to home video, however, it has since developed a cult following.

15th Warden Mission? :: Call of the Wild: The Angler™ General

Mom's in bed with a cold, so Lisa offers to make lunch. It'll be Lisa's first time preparing a meal on her own, and Mom has very clear instructions for Lisa to follow. But in the excitement of being a chef, Lisa bypasses a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich for an improvised pasta salad, featuring a dressing made out of prune juice, in spite of Corduroy's objections to Lisa's ideas! Pronouncing My Name for You: On multiple occasions, the Red Lectroid John Bigbooté has his name mispronounced. Lord Whorfin calls him "Bigbooty", and the U.S. Secretary of Defense calls him "Big Boot". Near the end of the movie he actually gets shot by Lord Whorfin because of his angry insistence that his surname be pronounced "big-boo-TAY".Grand Theft Me: Lord John Whorfin crosses into our dimension by possessing the body of Dr. Emilio Lizardo. Presumably, the good doctor's consciousness was wiped out in the process, as the possibility of saving him is never brought up and no hints are given that he's even still in there somewhere. Mildly Military: One of the many hats the Hong Kong Cavaliers wear is as an independent paramilitary strike team with no apparent chain of command, and apparently (from what we see of their interactions with the President and Defense Secretary) no real answerability to any governmental authority. It can be jarring seeing them go from musician-scientists in a variety of eccentric costumes to commandos in camo, bullet proof vests, and war paint.
